TL;DR: The Homework 2 Verilog file has been updated but you don't need to copy it if you have the old one. The Homework 2 Handout has also been updated, explaining the cw_itof issues and benefiting from some more proofreading.

In class today I suggested that the cw_itof module we used to compare to our own module tiger_itof might have had higher cost because cw_itof instantiated a left-justify module that was only needed for testbench compabitility. The synthesis program should have optimized out the left-justify module, and it did. Nevertheless the hw02.v now hides the left-justify module so we can be absolutely sure the cw_itof cost reflects only the Chipware module.
